This article is all about today’s star gold medalist, Manish Narwal. This 19-year-old teenager story is no less than a tale of inspiration for the coming generations. Manish is a Faribabad, Haryana based boy who has an ailment on his right hand since birth. Tanu first class lo unnapudu realise aiyyadu that he was different from others. Appudu chala baadha padi, world ni face cheyyadaniki bhayapadina, he gathered himself without giving up.

Chinnapati nunche sports ante chala ishtam Manish ki. He was more into outdoor sports. Football was his favourite sport and he wanted to make his career in it. Though he was good in the game, he couldn’t get past playing in the local club level because of his right-hand ailment. That is when he decided to change the sport and work towards something that holds a good future for him.

They were searching for a sport for Manish when they came across shooting in 2016. Oka family friend suggestion tho shooting range ki velli coach Rakesh Thakur ni kalisaaru. That was the turning point of his life.

In just the past few years Manish won a total of 19 medals, in different competitions and different countries. To stand on the top achievements is winning gold at the 2018 Asian Para Games, three medals at the 2019 World Championships in Sydney, and total’s win above all.

Tana great performances inka achievements tho Arjuna Award ki kuda hakkudaarudu aiyyadu. This is one of the greatest things for him as Arjuna is the highest award to be given to any sportsperson honoring their journey.

And in the finals today morning, Manish scored a total of 218.2m. This not just got him the gold medal but also created a world record at the Paralympics.
